Re: Apps taking long time to install.

I have experienced something similar on mine. Sometimes, the app will finish downloading, than freeze for 10-20 seconds before it starts installing. It hasn't been happening as frequently lately, but it used to happen almost every single time I installed or updated an app.

Also, app install speeds should not be affected by your network speed. Internet speeds will only affect the amount of time it takes for an app to download. Larger apps will install slower, that's just a fact of life.

Final idea is that it could be caused by a lack of storage. Phones slow down as they start to run out of storage. That's just a fact of life.

I have this problem too. Whenever I install an app, it shows the "Installing" screen with the green line running at the top.It keeps on running and I have to ultimately press the Home Button and swipe it away. Then, I have to go to Settings>Apps and I can find the app there, but not in the App Drawer. I have to then Uninstall it from there and then it installs normally.

I also have a delay between the download and the install (the green download indicator never gets to 100% and appears to 'hang'). This has only happened since the Lollipop upgrade and the Play Services which came with the new OS. I run Avast Mobile security. It used to indicate that it was checking the download for threats but since Lollipop and the latest update from Avast it no longer reports so that could be the delay.

Also don't forget that lollipop now uses ART instead of DALVIK. The delay could be caused by ART compiling the new app before running the indicator that shows it is installing the software.

I have never had an app not install, however I have cleared the cache and performed a factory reset after installing lollipop, especially important after the change from DALVIK to ART.

Re: Apps taking long time to install.

This solution is only for those mobile takes to much time to install App even if download complete in few seconds. (In this case battery drain faster and mobile heats up every time )

Smartest solution is to check whether Which app takes more battery from setting -> battery. And check again which app take too much ram when not needed in background. (This can be check using running apps from developer option in setting, every phone has different way to activate developer option simply google it).

The app which take more ram and battery is the issue, check that app if it is crashing then uninstall that app and your problem is solved now.

If this is harder then simply check all apps in that which app crashing uninstall that one..
